St. John’s UCC started in the town of Boomerang, ID, later to be named Payette in a small Presbyterian church in 1905.  In 1908, the St. John’s German Lutheran Church of Payette, Idaho was incorporated.  After obtaining $1500 for a lot and building, the current building was built and dedicated in November, 1911.  St. John’s has been a church of change, first merging with the Evangelical Church and later with the Reformed church.  St. John’s is the only church in the Idaho association from the E&R heritage.  In 1957, St. John’s enthusiastically became part of the newly formed United Church of Christ.

St. John’s extends God’s most extravagant welcome to all, celebrating every service with a potluck afterwards – a tradition that was started with the first meeting to form a church in 1905.  Recently, the church was given a Kimball organ by a person who heard the church had no working organ.  The Comforting Quilters, the women’s quilting group, meets on Tuesday afternoons each week.  This is a time of making quilts, which the church gives away to needy children and families each year. The group also serves as the women’s fellowship group.  Learn more about St. John’s rich history at www.freewebs.com/stjohnsucc.
